Referral madness

by John Dennehy

We’re see­ing a lot of inter­est­ing angles on employee refer­rals over the past cou­ple of months. The lat­est is a job seeker offer­ing $600 on Craigslist to any­body who gets them a job in their company.

They specif­i­cally want to work in sales/biz dev in a pub­lic com­pany in LA County. I can’t fig­ure out if this is a good thing or not. Is this brib­ing your way into a com­pany or a stroke of genius?
